Potential of Geopolymer Mortar as Concrete Repairing Materials

Abstract:

Geopolymer mortars which produced by the reaction of fly ash with an alkaline activator and added with sand is going to be developed for use as concrete repair material. Thus, the typical and standard requirement as repair material is reviewed. This paper also discusses the efficiency of geopolymer mortar which is mainly dependent on the excellent bond between the sand and geopolymer binder. Based on the determined formulation of geopolymer mortar, the standard for testing is determined making it potentially becoming as an excellent repair materials.
